Up Close With John Mayer's One-Of-One Yeezy Combat Boots

Crooner and unlikely streetwear god John Mayer is again making headlines for his taste in footwear. Late in July, it was the singer's NIKEiD ‘Air Mayer’ AM90s that piqued sneakerheads' interests. Those pairs were released in limited numbers, but Mayer’s latest custom is for his feet only.

During his The Search for Everything tour, Mayer took to the stage wearing Combat Boots from Yeezy Season 4. The shoes themselves are standard garb, but their detailing has reasserted Mayer’s nous for sieving through street style and adopting its hardest hitting trends. Like Tyler, the Creator, Virgil Abloh and Kanye, Mayer has taken to marker-modified make-ups. Matt McCormick was enlisted for the custom, covering the boots in simple drawings and scrawled lettering.
